Your Name
How important is your name?
At times it is more important
than most students realize. Af-ter
World War II, one student
told me that he was never able
to collect his first pay check
from the army because he care-lessly
signed the name he was
called instead of his legal name.
The insistence of the registrar's
office upon the legal name is
not red tape as unthinking stu-dents
sometimes feel but it is for
future protection.
A delegation from Illinois Wes-leyan
University accepted an in-vitation
to participate in the
sixteenth annual Public affairs
Conference held at Principia
College, Elsah, Illinois, Thursday,
April 22 through Saturday, Ap-ril
24. The Conference, which was
attended by delegations from

to make its views heard and ac-cepted.
Much of the final pro-gram
recommended by the Con-ference
Commissions was the
direct result of IWU participa-tion
in the various debates. The
Wesleyan delegates had to de-feat
strong opposition on some
of the measures adopted. Their
thorough preliminary study al-lowed
them to present a some-times
overwhelmingly informed
point of view.
The general program finally
adopted was described by the
closing speaker as a "middle-of-the-
road" policy. It asked for
more free market determination
of agricultural products with a
minimum of government control
and interference. The Conference
felt this would alleviate surplus
problems as well as many others.
A lowering of trade barriers, im-plimenting
both foreign and do-mestic
welfare programs, and
expansion of research were some
of the suggestions offered for
ridding ourselves of our present
surplus.
Principia a Good Host
Although there was a great
deal of heated disagreement con-cerning
the farm problem, dele-gates
of all the various colleges
agreed that the students and
faculty of Principia showed out-standing
hospitality. Principia,
which is about forty miles from
St. Louis, has a campus of some
2,000 acres overlooking the Mis-sissippi
River near Elsah, Illinois.
If there is any college campus
that will match Principia's phys-ical
beauty, culture and charm,
none of those at the Conference
knew of it. The physical charm
of the campus is equalled and
possibly surpassed, if that is pos-sible,
by its inhabitants. The
"foreign" delegates were treated
to an overwhelming display of
courtesy and friendliness. With-out
exception, the Principia stu-dents
and faculty greeted the
strangers as though they were
old friends, and after only a few
short hours each delegate felt
that each member of Principia
was his comrade.
